Recently the concept of bed rotting is floating all around social media where a person spends a hefty chunk of their time on the bed. You can binge-watch your favorite shows, grab a pack of chips and focus on your own blog, watch some cooking videos, or look at the ceiling throughout the whole day. It’s practically living your life on your own terms for a short amount of time while being in the comfort of your own bed.
